Stabbed in the Art, Baton Rouge's monthly low-key art show, is canceled for January in light of a lost lease and no new location. Local entrepreneur Jared Loftus, who runs the monthly event, said the February date is also in limbo until something permanent can be established.

"We're taking the month off to figure out where we're going to go next," Loftus said. The previous location, the Tiger District warehouse, was leased by Loftus for that business. December marked the end of Loftus' lease.

"We have some people who are working on (finding a new location), and they've looked into a few places," Loftus said.

Loftus said a video has been produced to help publicize the monthly art shows, which allow local artists to bring their works for display traditionally on the first Friday of every month. He said the video would be used in conjunction with a Kickstarter campaign if and when the time is right.

"We need a location first to know how much we're raising. It's up in the air right now," Loftus said.
